Great care, and a very trifling expenditure is all that is wanted.

I will take upon myself the rest, for my dead bride's sake.

I will make no presents, I will give nothing gratis; what I advance will be only as a loan.

When she has grown rich she shall repay me, so that I may be able to make others happy also.

I will give you three thousand florins every month, that the young woman may be able to pay for the necessary tuition; but pray do not let her know that the money comes from a young man, or she might possibly refuse it.
